Received my third CS last night. Needs a little TLC but she’s already getting it. Drove it today to get smog’d and VIN verified for registration. The gearbox is shiite after driving the 458.......but I don’t care. She’ll be well looked after.Image Unavailable, Please Login

sorry for the misleading post Jason. I’ve had 2 before. I traded the first one for a Mercedes about 4 years ago and the second one for a ‘16GT3 RS last year. Hopefully I’ve come to my senses and keep this one. Lol

Was the alcantara interior a cost option over leather or was the leather more ?
I love the alcantara but am concerned over keeping it clean, wear and possible replacement expense / availability years from now.

I love the feel and look of alcantara. Alcantara was standard offering and leather was optional/additional cost. Leather was an option for seats, upper dash, lower dash, headliner, door sills, transmission tunnel, rear shelf/wall and a-pillars - not everything had to be in leather, one could add leather in various combos. I've seen CS' with upper dash in leather with lower in alcantara (and vice versa) and some cars with leather seats only with alcantara everything else.

As for wear and tear, I've noticed that leather has held up a bit better than alcantara. Alcantara tends to pill usually around side bolsters and near shoulder area where seat belt rubs and fades especially on dashboard.
